Doubled losses and doubled debt from last year.
As I understand it this is the reason we’ve been charged a second time, so it doesn’t mean next season we will have another points deduction. But it does mean we’re much greater risk of administration than we thought.
Given the Benitez years took us pretty close to compliance the absolute tailspin of debt over the last season, which involves 6+ months of uncertainty over ownership, and PL points deductions, just shows that any claims the PL have that their rules are designed to prevent financial mismanagement can get in the bin.
Bottom line is if we’d had a suspended points deduction and 1 charge per season we’d be fine. But it’s hard to see how the club survives this, let alone retain PL status.
